<a name="gio-GFileAttribute.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>File attributes in GIO consist of a list of key-value pairs.</p>
<p>Keys are strings that contain a key namespace and a key name, separated
by a colon, e.g. "namespace::keyname". Namespaces are included to sort
key-value pairs by namespaces for relevance. Keys can be retrived
using wildcards, e.g. "standard::*" will return all of the keys in the
"standard" namespace.</p>
<p>The list of possible attributes for a filesystem (pointed to by a <a class="link" href="GFile.html" title="GFile"><span class="type">GFile</span></a>) is
available as a <a class="link" href="gio-GFileAttribute.html#GFileAttributeInfoList"><span class="type">GFileAttributeInfoList</span></a>. This list is queryable by key names
as indicated earlier.</p>
<p>Information is stored within the list in <a class="link" href="gio-GFileAttribute.html#GFileAttributeInfo" title="GFileAttributeInfo"><span class="type">GFileAttributeInfo</span></a> structures.
The info structure can store different types, listed in the enum
<a class="link" href="gio-GFileAttribute.html#GFileAttributeType" title="enum GFileAttributeType"><span class="type">GFileAttributeType</span></a>. Upon creation of a <a class="link" href="gio-GFileAttribute.html#GFileAttributeInfo" title="GFileAttributeInfo"><span class="type">GFileAttributeInfo</span></a>, the type will
be set to <a class="link" href="gio-GFileAttribute.html#G-FILE-ATTRIBUTE-TYPE-INVALID:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INVALID</code></a>.</p>
<p>Classes that implement <a class="link" href="GFile.html#GFileIface" title="struct GFileIface"><span class="type">GFileIface</span></a> will create a <a class="link" href="gio-GFileAttribute.html#GFileAttributeInfoList"><span class="type">GFileAttributeInfoList</span></a> and
install default keys and values for their given file system, architecture,
and other possible implementation details (e.g., on a UNIX system, a file
attribute key will be registered for the user id for a given file).</p>
<div class="refsect3">
<a name="id-1.4.2.3.8.7"></a><h4>Default Namespaces</h4>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"standard"</code>: The "Standard" namespace. General file information that
any application may need should be put in this namespace. Examples
include the file's name, type, and size.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"etag</code>: The <a class="link" href="GFile.html#gfile-etag" title="Entity Tags">Entity Tag</a> namespace. Currently, the only key
in this namespace is "value", which contains the value of the current
entity tag.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"id"</code>: The "Identification" namespace. This namespace is used by file
managers and applications that list directories to check for loops and
to uniquely identify files.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"access"</code>: The "Access" namespace. Used to check if a user has the
proper privileges to access files and perform file operations. Keys in
this namespace are made to be generic and easily understood, e.g. the
"can_read" key is <a href="../glib-Standard-Macros.html#TRUE:CAPS"><code class="literal">TRUE</code></a> if the current user has permission to read the
file. UNIX permissions and NTFS ACLs in Windows should be mapped to
these values.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"mountable"</code>: The "Mountable" namespace. Includes simple boolean keys
for checking if a file or path supports mount operations, e.g. mount,
unmount, eject. These are used for files of type <a class="link" href="GFileInfo.html#G-FILE-TYPE-MOUNTABLE:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_FILE_TYPE_MOUNTABLE</code></a>.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"time"</code>: The "Time" namespace. Includes file access, changed, created
times.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"unix"</code>: The "Unix" namespace. Includes UNIX-specific information and
may not be available for all files. Examples include the UNIX "UID",
"GID", etc.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"dos"</code>: The "DOS" namespace. Includes DOS-specific information and may
not be available for all files. Examples include "is_system" for checking
if a file is marked as a system file, and "is_archive" for checking if a
file is marked as an archive file.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"owner"</code>: The "Owner" namespace. Includes information about who owns a
file. May not be available for all file systems. Examples include "user"
for getting the user name of the file owner. This information is often
mapped from some backend specific data such as a UNIX UID.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"thumbnail"</code>: The "Thumbnail" namespace. Includes information about file
thumbnails and their location within the file system. Examples of keys in
this namespace include "path" to get the location of a thumbnail, "failed"
to check if thumbnailing of the file failed, and "is-valid" to check if
the thumbnail is outdated.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"filesystem"</code>: The "Filesystem" namespace. Gets information about the
file system where a file is located, such as its type, how much space is
left available, and the overall size of the file system.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"gvfs"</code>: The "GVFS" namespace. Keys in this namespace contain information
about the current GVFS backend in use.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"xattr"</code>: The "xattr" namespace. Gets information about extended
user attributes. See attr(5). The "user." prefix of the extended user
attribute name is stripped away when constructing keys in this namespace,
e.g. "xattr::mime_type" for the extended attribute with the name
"user.mime_type". Note that this information is only available if
GLib has been built with extended attribute support.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"xattr-sys"</code>: The "xattr-sys" namespace. Gets information about
extended attributes which are not user-specific. See attr(5). Note
that this information is only available if GLib has been built with
extended attribute support.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">"selinux"</code>: The "SELinux" namespace. Includes information about the
SELinux context of files. Note that this information is only available
if GLib has been built with SELinux support.</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>Please note that these are not all of the possible namespaces.
More namespaces can be added from GIO modules or by individual applications.
For more information about writing GIO modules, see <a class="link" href="GIOModule.html" title="GIOModule"><span class="type">GIOModule</span></a>.</p>
<p>&lt;!-- TODO: Implementation note about using extended attributes on supported
file systems --&gt;</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect3">
<a name="id-1.4.2.3.8.8"></a><h4>Default Keys</h4>
<p>For a list of the built-in keys and their types, see the
<a class="link" href="GFileInfo.html" title="GFileInfo">GFileInfo</a> documentation.</p>
<p>Note that there are no predefined keys in the "xattr" and "xattr-sys"
namespaces. Keys for the "xattr" namespace are constructed by stripping
away the "user." prefix from the extended user attribute, and prepending
"xattr::". Keys for the "xattr-sys" namespace are constructed by
concatenating "xattr-sys::" with the extended attribute name. All extended
attribute values are returned as hex-encoded strings in which bytes outside
the ASCII range are encoded as escape sequences of the form \x<code class="literal">nn</code>
where <code class="literal">nn</code> is a 2-digit hexadecimal number.</p>
